What will I actually receive?
Claim value, likely deductions, and estimated amount received — in one breakdown. Not just a number.
The tariff sets what your claim is worth. What you receive depends on how it is handled. This breakdown shows the tariff value for your injury, adds any financial losses, and — where a solicitor is involved — shows what fees are deducted before the settlement reaches you.
The accident date determines which tariff applies.
The tariff is set by the accident date, not the claim date. Schedules changed on 31 May 2025.
The injury type determines which tariff band applies.
Select the injury description that best matches your medical report, or your understanding of your injury at this stage.
The prognosis period determines the tariff value.
This is the medical examiner's assessment of how long your symptoms were expected to last. It is stated in your medical report and directly determines the tariff band.
Haven't had a medical report yet? Select the period that best reflects your current symptoms. The actual band is confirmed when the examiner produces their report.
The claim route determines what you receive from the total.
The route you take doesn't change what your claim is worth — it affects what you receive. Select your situation and add any financial losses.
Lost earnings, travel costs, treatment expenses and other out-of-pocket costs caused by the accident. No success fee is applied to this amount. Leave blank if none or unknown.
Select your claim route above to continue. Financial losses are optional — leave blank if you have none or don't know the figure yet.
Estimated breakdown
Why this breakdown shows three figures — not one
Most tariff calculators produce a single number. That number is the tariff value — the government-set amount for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. It does not include financial losses, does not reflect solicitor fees, and does not show what you will actually receive.
The distinction matters. A claimant managing their claim through the OIC portal and a claimant using a solicitor may have the same claim value — but receive different amounts, because fees are deducted differently.
This tool shows all three: what the claim is worth under the tariff, what financial losses can be added on top, and — where a solicitor is involved — what deductions apply to the amount you receive.
